special birthday

this post is specially dedicated to the woman who had nurtured, cared and supported me through all my ups and downs. she turned 4* ystrdy (censored bcoz she doesnt want ppl to knw lol) so this post is to wish my dear babu a happy belated birthday, semoga panjang umur, murah rezeki and berjaya in everything u venture in. i love u! and i hope u enjoyed ur cake and lastnite's dinner =)



************************************************************************************

i've been complaining excessively abt my weight gain since coming back and this time, this post is gonna be different. still a complaint, but different.

i have a 7days free pass to fitness zone and ystrdy was my first day and i tell u, my muscles are aching! still. bcoz today i went in again for another class. i had cross training and yoga ystrdy and thre were 3 other ladies with me, all about my mum's age (one of them said "we can be ur mother!") and they could do the moves better than me. the shame! having ppl more than twice my age able to do push ups and complicated yoga movements better than me. and i also realised one thing, im not coordinated. haha whenever the instructor says left foot, i think right and vice versa. im blaming all the big mirrors. they confuse me! but today i was better..c oz this time she (the instructor) took the time to explain the poses beforehand to me so i got it in no time. but the thing is, my whole body aches. it even hurts when i brush my teeth coz i haf to lift my arm. god this just shows how unfit i've been! and no, i wont stop after the 7days of free pass are over; i've decided to join the gym. finally some incentive to make me exercise! and im hoping weight loss and a toned body (esehmen) will come along the way. results are fast too! i actually lost 400g (apakan sekadar, ut still) after just the 2 classes ystrdy and today's 10laps run on the treadmill and a body balance class. sweet!


as a reward, someone special got me new shoes from vincci. yes, life is good.. (besides the aching muscles).

on another note, met up with the kent-ians monday nite at charcoal. thanx everyone, it was siuk. we shud do it often, ganya jgn sana sja la.. kapih krg semua haha.

btw, this week im gonna be a bit MIA here. its gonna be a reeeaaly strenuous week. i wake up at 7am and go for gym classes everyday at 8 till 10, then sleep for as long as i can and in the afternoon/evening i go out with the boyfren. so enjoy ur week ppl!

jgn stress~

had a busy weekend. thurs nite went over to nini laki for a doa selamat - it was his birthday. it was a nice family gathering and i got to catch up with my long lost cousin hehe. how? by being vain.



one of the many MANY pictures we took =D

then 2 of my brother left for kl and thailand on friday. and the boyfren is not coming home next week. its gonna be a lonely week next week....



then this morning went to the beach to dengani my lil bro for this colouring contest. tarus bawa the boyfren hehe but thre was this car who blocked his car masa kami kan keluar and that kinda brought out a bit of 'mental' element in him lol. sooo...

special shout out to the boyfren who's been mucho stressed lately.

i love u syg! xoxoxoxoxo

on a different note, me and the gang had a lil gathering today at effy's and we ended the afternoon by watching jackass. definitely not my choice of a great movie but i was outnumbered. i spent most of the time crouching behind the sofa and playing with my fone. i just CANNOT stand ppl hurting themselves or doing disgusting things.to be put simply, i cant stand stupidity. i dont even find them funny. one of these days, knoxville and magera are gonna die. but then again, who knows? they mite live to old age and die peacefully. after all the times theyve cheated death, that would definitely be an anti-climax. salute goes to knoxville (or is it magera's?) mum for being soooo sabar with their antics. if they were my kids they wudve died long ago (due to my murdering them), or got disowned. i mean, anak cematu ulah nya, luan capi2x, i cannot stand. and in the middle of watching it i also wondered if they were insured.

i was thinking out loud they would be insured quite a mega amount of dough since they do the stunts for a living. then meez, or was it icham, voiced out 'who would insure them?'

point taken. but then they come from the land of the free. so there must be a jackass insurance company willing to insure them anyway.

just for the sake of it

sarah's bajus during the royal wedding were gorgeous. babe, do u still exercise like mad to stay that size? hehe or maybe it comes with having a kid..

speaking of which, i need to exercise. pronto. maybe i'll go skipping later. if i can find that darn skipping rope.

i think my body is in shock. after so little food and loads of walking in uk, brunei's eating out 24/7 and drive-me-everywhere culture is making my body weight flunctuate.

so skipping it will be. if i can find that skipping rope. and next mth will be yoga.

***************************************************************************************

hahaha. sasak kamu aku ckp psl makan and my body weight sja? macam nada crita lain kan? well, its true. thats ALL ive been doing. well yes, i've been watching movies, both at the cinema and on dvds. i watched shrek last week, it was good! i knw some ppl dont find it that entertaining/good but i like it. especially with all the other princesses making an appearance. this week will be ocean's 13. looking forward to that. or should i watch cinta pertama? i've also seen stomp the yard. movie line's predictable.. something that steve pethick would point out as we're the post-modernists bunch. but the dance moves are hot hot hot and the guys even hotter =) except for ne-yo. sorry but i dont find him cute/hot/gorgoeus in the first place anyway. but chris brown was awesome! however, i admit that both their acting skills are as good as their music. just bcoz i dont find ne-yo gorgeous doesnt mean i dont like his music. also watched meet the robinsons, a disney animation movie. cartoons nowadays are so real its scary. give me back the old care bears and jem 2-d cartoons any day. speaking of which, the movie's a-okay. shrek is better. i guess shrek just challenges the whole notion of predictability yea? its like post modernists in your face.

i need new bajus. not, not bcoz i haf grossly gained weight bcoz i was insane enough to not bring my many gorgeous outfits in the uk to brunei for fear of excess baggage. oh well, it means more shopping. im planning to go to singapore sometime in august.. just before puasa. anyone wanna join?

the generosity of mr pilot

no, not my boyfren. altho yes, he is generous. im talking about mr. syazwi who lastnite treated me meez and effy at fratinis. thank u banyak2x wi!!


happy faces of org kena belanja



oi behave! ngalih2x lapas kraja pun masih beulah

and mr pilot went out with us straight after work so he was in uniform. well.. wat do u tink happened? sexy uniformed guy in sexy car with 3 girls..

us girls played with his hat la! =p





so on a different note, i've been complaining about weight gain and all that but i still managed to finish my huge plate of pasta last nite and a couple of bruschettas so i decided to take action about my exercise regime (or lack of it) and i did. i signed up for beginners yoga! its starting in july and its twice a week for 6 weeks. lets see if its as good as its hyped up to be hehe. i hope i'll be able to lose the weight i gained (and plus plus is a bonus haha) and of course have fun with it.altho Pablo had successfully convinced me of its benefits in a previous post of his (sorry im too lazy to find the link hehe), so im excited at the prospect.

to jirin, batah ku menunggu kau balik, be yoga tah ku sendiri. sama jua kau kurus sudah! =p

so ppl, get ready for a healthier, fitter and insyaAllah slimmer rabz. im joining the club of yoga lovers. till then (in about 4 weeks), im gonna be eating out. haha. such a bruneian mindset yes?



much love xxx

magic figure

its official. i am slowly but steadily gaining gargantuan amounts of body fat, adding bulbous love handles on myself.

okay i may have done a jirin thre. but still. i've been eating out almost every other day and to top it off, kana belanja sja. nda kan rezeki d tolak nda ja? hehe plus i've been doing the one thing that dieters/weight watchers NEVER do - no exercise and eating carbs at nite. it doesnt help that theres always an occasion to celebrate whenever i go out. and then theres always mr. dont-worry-i'll-take-care-of-the-bill. first it was the boyfren (actually, he's not exactly mr. i'll-take-care-of-the-bill, but its expected of him hehe what with him with a job and me a student), bringing me out for breakfast at CA Mohammad, lunch and dinner at escapade -celebrating my return to home sweet home and catching up on loss time; then there was arif, mr. soon-to-be-married, treating me lunch at ahan thai. the celebration? well duh, he's getting married next mth. then finally, thres mr.pilot with sexy black bandit, treating me dinner at sugar and spice and last nite at taurean. and it seems like this mr. pilot will be always with us whenver we eat out, which is nice on our wallets but not nice on our waists. and the celebration is just the homaigodhaventseenusinceforeverweneedtocatchup kind.

i need a jogging date instead of eating out dates. grrr. jirin, balik tah laju! kan yoga ah!

oh, since i already announced it, i mite as well do it properly. dear old primary skool frens, arif asmad is getting married next month on 7.07.07. yes, before his 20th birthday and no, its not a crash boom bang marriage. its a luuuurve marriage. hehe apakan. i feel so happy for the couple on their upcoming nuptials. congrats to both of u, arif and ehra =D

speaking of marriage, the magic figure is 6.8.10. kan sayang? haha go figure.

to ppl still in kent, i miss u guys!!! mcm siuk kamu d artsfest ah. dearest bianca gabrielle wu, i miss u most!!!! and to the ppl in brunei who i havent met.. well, call/txt me! mcm payah ku kan contact kamu ah..

peace!
